Farmers switching from peaches to elsewise due to a lack of buyers represents a bailout?

We'll just close the loop with a systemd MCP, set the shell to /usr/bin/codex, and find some other way to pay the bills. Perfect.

Sorry, that's local vernacular jargon and I should do better to define these terms on introduction of them. ;) Most people call them windshield washer nozzles, or similar. But I find that they're about as useful for that job as

"nootpad" is already a very dissimilar name and I wouldn't expect that to draw any ire from anyone. Trademarks aren't absolute in their breadth. "Notepad++ For Linux" would probably piss some folks off, though

I still have the E36. One of these days when I have time and money (hah) I'll see if there's anything left underneath ("it was fine when parked!"), and go about putting different spinny-bits into it. I'm in a part

I've found that the same works for me when I put forth the tiny bit of time and effort to actually do it. Just a quick note somewhere (phone is easy-enough, or for a long time I carried a waterproof Field Notes notebook with a Fisher S

If they'd named it something else, it would indeed be OK. We wouldn't be here having this conversation if that were a thing that had happened. When there are no trademark issues then there are no trademark issues to discuss. But

Now it's reminding me more of the E36 I used to drive. Dual-zone auto temperature control failed? Heat still works, at least -- the "all the way on" position for the driver's side temperature knob was not a potentiomete

Even a W123 can be complex compared to something like a spartan 1979 Dodge Aspen. Electric power windows, vacuum-operated power locks, telescopic steering column, power-adjustable mirrors, a radio that does AM and FM... Fancy stuff seemed

Lots of very plain-looking things work as trademarks. Some obvious examples: AAA, BBB, Target, Just Do It. There's a lot of nuance in trademarks, including geographical nuance. It's possible for someone to open a small bakery i

You're correct. In very, very broad US-centric* strokes: Using a mark in trade is enough to establish a defensible trademark. Registering a trademark can be useful, but it is also optional. At very least, registration helps make th

It looks like it went more like this: "Stop using my trademark." [1] "OK, give me a couple of weeks. I was intending to expand your brand ." [2] "No. I've reported this to your CDN." [3] --- [1]: This

Having fewer functions means fewer controls are required. Fewer controls means fewer buttons. KISS tends to promote this. If it's the choice between $50 worth of buttons and $100 worth of touchscreen, then $50 worth of buttons wins o

My E36 was fantastic as well. Automatic climate control, heated motorized mirrors, heated monkey pissers, heated power-adjusted leather seats, power windows, power sunroof, dash lights that fluidly adjusted to ambient conditions, two thro

Most folks don't care about network cabling these days. For many/most common consumer uses, wifi (with mesh nodes or whatevr) is quite good for streaming video and playing online games. These people aren't seeing the whole p

Cool beans. We seem to be sufficiently agreeable. Suppose we set forth on straightening out the laws (because the existing laws are bullshit compared to reality, and they're not even made of paper these days so they're easy to ad

They certainly can. A dainty little USB-powered Pinecil v2 can peak at ~126W with appropriate firmware and an EPR 28v PD 3.1 power supply. It's an impressive feat. :) (And, yes, it requires a USB cable that is e-marked for 240W bef

I have no respect for a man who can't label a cable with more than one figure.

Or they could simply be labelled. In this way, I would be able to see (using the advanced, integrated bionic vision system that I've carried with me and used every day I've been alive) what it is that I have before me instead of p

Lightning works great. It's a wonderful connector. Of all the Lightning-equipped devices I've ever owned (1), I've only ever had one single issue with it that required replacing a cable. 50% failure is an admirable and loft

I'd like to think that the level of cognitive sophistication necessary to assess the situation negatively would be very widely available. That would be a very pleasant line of thought for me. But then, I look at the modern-world empir

That's one way that it works, but that's not the main driver. This kind of tagline marketing works best with people people who aren't even aware that they're participating, and who aren't bothered to do anything dif

It's all pretty nuanced. I don't know where to draw a line. For instance: Busy intersections with 4-way stop signs are an interesting example of how laws don't quite fit. It's obviously important to get the order right

For places with plenty of water, that makes sense. Capacity can be increased. For places that don't have plenty of water, that becomes trickier: Capacity is finite.
